Is the MAC Gaining Ground on the Big Ten?

Writer’s note: This is the third installment of the statistical breakdown series. Here are links to the first Keith Wenning vs. Nate Davis and second, BSU Defense Tackles Misleading Stats, installments. Fans of MAC teams have known for a while that the Big Ten has been backpedaling and Big Ten fans are finally coming around [...]

Ball State Defense Tackles Misleading Statistics

The Ball State defense has been ripped in the media (what little media that covers the Cardinals) through backhanded compliments. Phrases like “The offense carried the team” are about as mean as you can get in terms of criticizing a defense full of college students. The statistics of Ball State gave up the most yards [...]

How Keith Wenning Actually Compares to Nate Davis

A year and a half ago, I was stuck in the same music history class (many hours I will never get back in my life) with Ball State defensive end Robert Eddins. Eddins would later sign with the Buffalo Bills. I was the only one in class who recognized him, which is shocking as he [...]

2009 – The Offensive Awards Show

Edge is back.  But don’t call it a comeback.  I’ve just been tallying up some numbers and making sure the stats are tightened.  Of course, work and life sometimes get in the way, especially when you’re submitting content for free (hint: check out the DONATE button on this page.  I have a daughter to send [...]

It’s Stat-tastic

As we head into the last few weeks of the regular season, it’s interesting to see where certain teams fall in some important statistical categories in the BCS.  There is a lot of information to dissect thanks to all the blood and sweat I put into this… mostly blood.  For our rabid readers, hopefully you [...]

As this week is the challenging opponent Open Date State, there is no substantive data to pour over. Except our own.Yesterday saw us ponder the offensive and defensive numbers, but today we focus [...]

As this week is the challenging opponent Open Date State, there is no substantive data to pour over. Except our own. Hence, the offensive and defensive production… presented in fancy graph format. Ballin’. Part [...]

By the Numbers – Week 5, Part II

Apologies for not getting this to you sooner, but sometimes things get in the way, right?  Two days ago we covered some statistics on Ball State and Kentucky on their respective offenses.  So, as promised, here are some numbers on the other side of the ball. As we may already know, Ball State’s defensive numbers are [...]

By the Numbers – Week 5

I originally wanted to post something that could ruffle some feathers since Alan is gone, then leave it to him to clean up the mess when he gets back from vacation.  But, I thought now that I have the floor, it would be a good time to talk about statistics for our two main teams, Ball State and [...]
